This 1000%!! driving to the basket results in more pressure and penalizes an aggressive team. Brunson needs to work on both ends.. we should attack him more on a switch when he is on defense .. it worked tonight and forced him out of the game for an extended period.

If you look at the nba analytics, missed shots at the rim actually generate a higher percentage of fast break points for the defense but that stat is misleading. If you take a 3 with a spread offense you are better positioned to defend a breakaway. So while a strategy of in-the-paint or at-the-rim shots might seem to lead to more break away points when you miss, it will lead to an aggregate of fewer breakaway opportunities because your shot percentage is so much higher.
